City of Blinding Lights by U2

The more you see, the less you knowThe less you find out as you goI knew much more then than I do nowNeon heart day-glow eyesA city lit by firefliesThey're advertising in the skiesFor people like usAnd I miss you when you're not aroundI'm getting ready to leave the groundOh you look so beautiful tonightIn the city of blinding lightsDon't look before you laughLook ugly in a photographFlash bulbs purple irisesThe camera can't seeI've seen you walk unafraidI've seen you in the clothes you madeCan you see the beauty inside of me?What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?(cut)And I miss you when you're not aroundI'm getting ready to leave the groundOh you look so beautiful tonightIn the city of blinding lightsTime...time...time...time...timeWon't leave me as I amBut time won't take the boy out of this manOh you look so beautiful tonightOh you look so beautiful tonightOh you look so beautiful tonightIn the city of blinding lightsThe more you know the less you feelSome pray for others stealBlessings are not just for the ones who kneel... luckily

This is one of my favourite songs.

I love the band U2.

I think of Dubai whenever I listen to this song.

I love the lyrics and melody.

I've written an analysis of this song, and I'll be posting it soon :)

Do you like it?

What do you like to listen to?

When you listen to music, do you listen to the lyrics or the music - or both (like me)?

About Me

I love to make things. Creating things gets me in a certain state of mind that is extremely peaceful and serene. I could sit for hours making and making things. Even if my shoulders start to ache, I just keep going. At the moment I love jewelry-making and crocheting. I also love writing. Through this blog I want my crafts to be put out there - out, into the world. Hopefully this blog will give my jewelry a voice of it's own, as it is yearning to be heard.
